About Dynamic Collection

Dynamic Collection is a new feature which improves Amarok’s support for files which are not permanently accessible to Amarok. It will detect when devices marked as part of the collection (see below for a list of supported devices) are added or removed and make the files stored on those devices available or unavailable in the collection at runtime.

If Amarok is not able to identify the device a file is stored on, it will use a fallback mechanism and behave like pre-Dynamic Collection versions.

Supported Devices

Amarok currently supports the following device types:

  • NFS shares
  • SMB shares
  • Mass Storage Devices: harddisks, USB memory sticks
